Where are the Crab Legs??? (sale, farmers market, place)

[noladarling]

I've been to several farmers markets in Astoria and China Town...I even went to an awesome Asian farmers market on Northern Blvd. But I can't seem to find crabs other than Blue Crabs.

What's with that? I'm looking for Dungeness or Alaskan Snow Crabs. I know this isn't Atlanta but they were all over the place back home.

Someone please help this seafood lover:-)

Any tips on crawfish would be appreciated also!

Hmm?? Is that the name of a market?

[SobroGuy]

Opelio crab is the actual name for Snow Crab...Opies is the shortened name for Opelio.

Did you try the supermarket? Since snow crabs are shipped frozen I highly doubt that you would find them in the Fresh Fish Market or any place like that. They will most likely be in the freezer section of a grocery store. Im surprised that the farmers market didnt have them though.

Yes, I've tried the super markets. Oh well...the search continues:-)
